How do I get the camera to focus on the character so that the map moves along instead of the character going off screen?

Move the camera x/y with the player X/Y. He he I'm a pain for making you work out the code, but it's the best way to learn.

Well, if you're using a bitmap then the camera will not work at all. Forget about cameras for bitmaps you don't have any. If you've locked things to the screen then you will have to unlock them again. But I reckon that you are using a bitmap....

The bitmap method is...

sx=scrollX
sy=scrollY



Copy bitmap 1,X+sx,Y+sy,width+sx,height+sy,0,0,0,screen width,screen height.

By moving the X/Y you move the screen.

That's just part of the code! Hopefully you are already drawing a map or something on screen 1.

Adjust as required.

Pincho.
